Dialogue

First Encounter

• Gideon: Oh! Just the person I was hoping to bump into. My favourite assistant.

• Ready for some more research work?

• I've been tracking a rare flower called the Nyxanthium. Sounds fancy, right?

• Research says only blooms under a full moon. and Researcher Craig has been trying to confirm that! Could you check on him for an update?

• I'd go get an update myself, but I'm currently on probation from fieldwork.

• (Apparently the egg I incubated was a Cactosaurus hatchling, and not a chicken like I thought….)

Interacting again

• Don't forget to speak to Researcher Craig about the Myxanthium!

Speak to Researcher Craig in Needlepoint Pass

• Oh, hello! I wasn't expecting company.
• Did Gideon send you? Well, he's in luck - my findings suggest the Nyxanthium should bloom tonight!
• If you're here at night time, we should be able to see it in full bloom!

Interacting again

• We have to wait until night-time for the Nyxanthium flower to appear.

Return to Gideon with the Nyxanthium flower

• (Interacting with Researcher Craig) Wow, that's the most beautiful flower I've ever seen! That was worth the 10 year wait.
• Gideon: Hello! Wait, what do you have there...
• The Nyxanthium! Oh wow, it's real.
• The edges are faintly bioluminescent! Look at that! I mean – don't look too hard. It could be poisonous.
• Thanks. Player! I better start studying this quickly.
